Bread Pudding For A CrowdAbington Grange Supper - milk

Method

• Heat the milk in double boiler (I use 2 mixing bowls set in large kettles) until bubbly around the edges.
• The butter can be melted in the milk.
• Beat eggs lightly, add sugar and flavorings. Put bread cubes in baking pan (10 x 18 x 2 1/2-inches).
• Mix hot milk, eggs and flavorings.
• Pour over bread.
• Sprinkle raisins on top and try to submerge them somewhat with a rubber spatula.
• This will prevent them from sinking to the bottom or clumping together. Put your large broiler pan filled with water on lower oven rack and set pudding pan on a rack above.
• Bake about 1 hour or until a dinner knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.
• Serves 36.
